Just adding that I have made similar measurements some time ago, with
identical results. You can't ignore the self-capacitance of the coil.
Actually, to ignore it is to model the (somewhat nonuniform, not 
exactly TEM) transmission line that the coil -is- using a first-order 
model. Adding the self-capacitance improves the model to second order,
and improves the accuracy to the point of allowing accurate modeling 
of the first resonance (not others).
